"Color is a kind of holy substance for me, it's the element in painting which I am most fascinated with. It is an element of painting which overcomes me... Color in a way is a receptacle for a feeling and a way for you to hold it until understanding arrives or meaning is extracted."
- Sam Francis, 1975-76
